Several Areas Damaged By Storms

Storm cells that passed over the park late last week caused substantial damage at several locations:

• Cottonwood Cove (Nevada side of Lake Mohave) – Trees were uprooted in the lower campground and are being cleared by maintenance crews. The upper campground has minor debris from overflowing irrigation ditches. Both upper and lower campgrounds remain open.
• Eldorado Canyon (Nevada side of Lake Mohave) – The access road off Highway 165 was closed due to mud and debris blocking the road. Maintenance crews were scheduled to clear the area after higher priority storm damage areas were repaired and/or cleared.
• Princess Cove (Arizona side of Lake Mohave) – The drainage area adjacent to the parking lot sustained significant damage. Several hundred feet of rip-rap used to prevent erosion on slopes has been washed away along with curbing. That portion of the parking lot is closed, but most of the rest of the lot remains usable. Maintenance crews will work to repair this lot this week.
• Katherine Landing area roads (Arizona side of Lake Mohave) – Cabinsite Road and North and South Telephone Cove Roads sustained minor flooding and maintenance crews have cleared the major debris and made the roads usable.
